Improvement of Predictive Value for Thromboembolic Risk by Incorporating Left Atrial Functional Parameters in the CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc Scores

The discriminative ability of the widely used CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores for risk stratification of thromboembolism in atrial fibrillation (AF) is known as modest. Some echocardiographic parameters are known risk factors for thromboembolism. This study aimed to evaluate whether combining echocar...
